Comment
Issued in 2004 to commmorate the third movie about Harry Potter:
Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of Sirius Black, a character from the Harry Potter book series, on the other. This coin was issued in 2004 by the Isle of Man, a British Crown dependency, as part of a series of coins celebrating the popular book and film franchise. It's made of copper-nickel and weighs 28.28 grams. Interestingly, this coin has a unique feature - it contains a hidden message. If you look closely at the design on the reverse side of the coin, you'll notice that the bars on Sirius Black's prison cell form the shape of a lightning bolt, which is a nod to the scar on Harry Potter's forehead. This subtle detail adds an extra layer of meaning and depth to the coin's design, making it a truly special collector's item for fans of the Harry Potter series.
